Character's Name: Karkat Vantas
Character's Age: 6 solars years = 13 human years
Conditional: If your character is 13 years of age or under, please clarify how they will be played.
The trolls are a violent race that have been prepared so they could handle a dangerous game in their session. Due to their culture it is not unusual for trolls to die because of 1) the death of their lusus 2) the fact that they're just not strong enough to survive in this world 3) they were killed by other trolls. Since day one the trolls are fighting for survival and only the strongest have their genetics passed down the gene pool. Their world is run by the system, "survival of the fittest", and all the trolls have endured through a lot of filters just to stay alive. And because they have been through a lot after just being born (plus there was the fighting, killing, and surviving in their SGRUB session) they are definitively prepared for Sirenspull.
What form will your character's NV take?
A purple laptop, almost looking like his previous computer before he ran the code given to him by Sollux causing his computer to explode. He does get a new one later but they look the same so... it's all good.
Abilities
Character's Canon Abilities:
Karkat's most remarkable trait is his leadership. Despite how it seems on the surface, Karkat is indeed an excellent leader. After they finished their session and the Scratch happened, all of the trolls came to respect him in some way. He may not know this for certain, but it’s true. He usually has good insight on problems and overall is extremely level-headed. He's been through a lot, but for him to still stay strong shows that he has the standing to be a leader.
Other than that, as previous stated, after clarifying how he will survive as a 6 solar sweep (13 years old in human years) Karkat survives SGRUBS. He knows how to fight, which is shown several times in the web comic . Everything is basically kill or be killed and hey, Karkat is still alive isn't he? It might be nothing superhuman but he is capable of surviving struggles and fights. It is true that he isn't as bloodthirsty as some of the trolls, and he has not been shown to kill or hurt anyone in the web comic itself (although it must have happened at some point pre-canon for one reason or another), but he will do what he has to in order to survive.
Conditional: If your character has no superhuman canon abilities, what dormant ability will you give them?
Karkat can have the dormant ability of sound wave manipulation. This allows him to produce sound waves from yelling, which can break objects. It won't really affect a person since humans, under most circumstances, can’t hear sound waves but it still can cause a lot of damage to property! The best example of this would be how sound waves can break glass when its oscillation limit is reached due to high frequencies and amplitude. So when this ability works the louder/angrier Karkat is the higher the frequencies and amplitude of the sound waves
would be. THIS MEANS HE CAN BREAK YOUR SHIT IF HE'S ANGRY SO YOU BETTER WATCH IT. Of course sound waves can cause some disruptions on the body and at a certain frequency can probably cause temporarily deafness to the other person. But this would probably backfired on him since the point of him yelling is to make people listen...
Weapons:
He has a sickle that he likes to wave around when he's alone in his room! Of course he uses it to serious fight too....
He should be using this one during the canonpoint I chose from him. But as you can see he has many others that he has used some point in time.

Character History: wiki is your best friend!
Point in Canon:
Right after Sober!Gamzee contacts him. It will only be at hello though so he doesn't know that Gamzee has gone crazy and is ready to kill off everyone. By this point Eridan went insane and killed off Kanaya and Feferi with his magic wand. He's glad to see that Sollux was still alive and simply knocked out but now he's really worried about everyone else. He's very relieved to have contact from Gamzee at this point so his main worry is probably Terezi since he doesn't know her whereabouts and whether she is okay or not. He knows Equius and Nepeta are fine at this point in time and he doesn't know that Tavros is dead or that Vriska killed him. I guess you can say he's just very shaken up by this whole ordeal since Kanaya was one of his best friends...
Conditional: Brief summary of previous RP history: N/A
Character Personality:
When Karkat first shows up in Homestuck we only know him as a "troll" that pestered the kids constantly before their session in SBURGS even happened. We also know that he's an angry jerk, which would probably be the first impression that anyone would have of him. Just like his troll text "IN WHICH HE TYPES IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND IS YELLING AND INSULTING EVERYONE ALL THE TIME", he is true to his 'quirk' and always seems to be flipping his shit one way or another. He believes that he is a hatched leader and is destined for something great. This is when Sgrub came along. He made sure to make his position as leader clear before taking them through the game. No one really complained or argued with him, only because they didn’t feel like bothering with it, but in the end it couldn’t be denied that he's a really great leader after all! Okay, so he can be stubborn and hot headed and yell all the time, but he also has good ideas. They made it all of the way to the end of their session, even if it was interrupted by the Scratch. And okay, maybe his brilliant order to "troll the kids" was pretty silly, but we cannot be blinded by the fact that he got them so far despite that. Even Vriska agrees that he’s too good of a leader at one point. He made all twelve trolls, who all have their problems and differences, come together to finish a session; their session. It’s just too bad that something stupid had to mess it all up.
He tries hard to the point where he seems to be a bit obsessive, but it's only because he doesn't want to mess up his role as a decisive leader. Vriska points out that he hardly gets a wink of sleep during their 600 hour session because he's too uptight about it. It's true, because he cares too much and is not willing to leave room for mess-ups. He thinks of this session as a way to prove himself to everyone (and by the end of the session the trolls did respect him in some way, even if Karkat may not know himself). So why does he try so hard? Well the obvious reason would be the simple fact that he hates himself and everyone knows it. He is constantly fighting with his past self and future self because 1) he thinks his past self is stupid to the point that he's embarrassed to read his own past logs and 2) he thinks his future self is smug and annoying with nothing but bullshit wisdom. It’s simply in his character to not accept the wisdom from his future self, but he is a growing troll and truly maturing as time goes on, as his future self proves.
He also may seem angry and tough all the time but this can mostly be seen as an act. As stated, he is the least bloodthirsty out of all of the trolls, even fainting by the sight of blood when Kanaya cuts off Tavro’s legs. He isn't at all cold-blooded like he says he is, and there is a point in time when Vriska tells John that Karkat would probably be better off human due to how he is. What she basically means is trolls are supposed to be cold hearted creatures that do what they have to do to survive, but Karkat has a certain sentiment that only humans seem to have. Of course this doesn't mean that Karkat can't fight when he needs too-- like during their session of SGRUBS. He knows how to protect himself, because killing trolls is an acceptable thing in Alternia to keep the genetic lines strong. If he wasn’t capable, he would not have survived this long. Another example of him not being “cold-blooded” is when he refuses to leave Sollux alone, knowing that sober!Gamzee is on the loose. He isn’t at all the save-yourself-first type and wouldn’t abandon anyone.
So we know that he wants everyone to see him as an amazing, tough leader, but it’s also clear that Karkat is far from perfect at being the serious kind. While he doesn't take bullshit, tries to be serious when getting down to business and keeps his cool during the worst of situations, Karkat can be a total dork. Besides the obvious fact that he tends to argue with himself in his own memos, in the beginning we see him play around with his sickle, waving it around for practice in his own room when no one is looking. Sounds like typical 13 year-old dorky kid behavior, right?
As if it wasn’t already obvious, he’s extremely insecure. This is usually masked under a heavy load of sarcasm but it is why he wants to prove himself and why he is so uptight about everything he does as a leader. He feels inferior and he yells and orders because it's easier than asking, and because it is the best way to get attention. In his mind, in order to make people listen to you all you have to do is yell. There’s also that thing about the color of his blood. He's a mutant blood, not even in the hemospecture, and to some trolls this means a lot as it normally ranks you from a low-blood to a high-blood. Yet Karkat’s candy red blood isn’t on the hemospecture, and he’s really insecure about that, hiding it desperately from everyone he knows. He tells Terezi, but only after she’d figured it out herself. He will eventually tell everyone but only when he knows everyone respects him as a leader. But really, this only adds to him fighting with himself again, internally.
Karkat Vantas is also a romantic. Yes, while this may strike anyone as odd he actually understands the concept of romance more than any of the other trolls, and romance is much more complicated for them than humans (with four quadrants that could be filled, FOUR-FOLD THE COMPLICATIONS!). So, how does a troll like Karkat know so much about romance? He loves romance comedies! Sure, he admits that it's a little hard to defend what he likes but they're just soooo goooood. He believes that John Cusack is a universal thing and while he may be embarrassed about his tastes, he isn't afraid to mention it on occasion. He just really likes his rom coms, dammit!
As a matter of fact, he can also go on and on about the topic of romance when triggered, and won't stop until he is made to shut up by force. This is seen in his conversation with Vriska when he is explaining that she’s too messed up for redom romance and too far over at the blackdom scale to have a proper kismesis. The troll’s relationship has only two emotions, hate and pity, and he understands this well. But besides babbling about romance issues even when he isn’t asked, he actually helps a lot of trolls with their romance problems. Okay, so Vriska didn’t ask, but a lot of people do! There’s Tavros, Eridan (mostly Eridan really), and Kanaya who ask for help throughout his memos, and he gives them advice like a good romance expert should. However, this does not mean that Karkat himself is actually an expert at romancing. He is the type of troll that screws up everything including romance; a topic he supposedly knows so well. He is matesprits with Terezi, but at many times his actions are confusing, and in the end he more or less messes the relationship up completely. They seem to simply be on hold for now.
The problem with Karkat in this is that he always has to know the details of everything, is too meticulous and has no sense of adventure. He always has to know exactly what is going on and that takes the fun out of everything. He can be rather insensitive about it too. Even knowing that Terezi had plans for the two of them on Prospit he simply shrugs it off. When Terezi asks if he’s disappointed that they couldn't hang out on Prospit because their dreamselves died, his only answer is, "Well we hanged out in many other places too, so who cares?" It was supposed to be special, but he just didn't see that, the idiot. He also gets really embarrassed about his own romance issues, and would rather just avoid the subject completely. He's even denied that he and Terezi had a thing before from his embarrassment, but well, pretty sure most of them know anyway.
When Karkat talks to his friends, it is almost impossible for him not to insult them in some way. When he is talking to Gamzee he always tells him that he hates how he types without fail. With Sollux he may yell at him for being a prick, saying that his computer hacker skills are stupid (even if he wishs he had those skills, c'mon). In the heat of an argument he may not think things through, being as amazingly stubborn as he is. During his bashing on Sollux’s hacker skills he runs the code that Sollux gave him which 1) will blow up his computer 2) will place a curse on him and everyone he knows. He was told this beforehand, but because he was angry and wanted to prove him wrong, he ran it anyway. Worst mistake ever.
But despite anything that happens, Gamzee, Sollux and Kanaya are all Karkat’s best friends. The funny thing is that with Sollux he has to constantly ask if they are still friends, and at this point Sollux can't tell if he's joking anymore since it seems to happen all the time. This is just how Karkat is, and insults are the way he works. It seems to be only something he can do depending on the person, though, because while he did call Nepeta autistic to her face, when Eridan insulted her his reply was along the lines of "SHE HAS FEELINGS YOU KNOW". Insulting people can be a complicated thing!
It really needs to be stressed, however, that despite the way that Karkat is, he cares for all of his friends. They all mean a lot of him, even the hateful ones. As leader he wants to lead them all, but also protect everyone because he does not want anyone to die. When Sollux dies because he is not brought into his session fast enough, he starts crying like a baby because he blames himself for it. Jack has to slap him around to snap him out of it. And even when it comes to Gamzee, when he had not seen him for a while, he’s seriously worried about him. He even admits to it when he manages to get in contact with him. (Too bad he was sober by then.)
In conclusion, Karkat is a 13 year-old troll hanging by a thread. It’s already bad enough that he knows their session is void and that Jack Noir is on the loose. He holds a lot of responsibility on himself because he took the position of leader in this group, so anything that goes wrong, he will feel is automatically all his fault. Later he learns that despite thinking that it was the kids’ fault that their session was "fucked up", it turns out that it was actually his fault all along. He was so quick to get things done that he didn't care enough about things getting done right. By then more than half of his friends were dead, Gamzee was on the loose, and he believed that all of it was completely his fault. He has a lot bottled up, cracking sometimes but refusing to break entirely because he has to play the part of the leader, and that is that.
Conditional: Personality development in previous game: N/A
Character Plans:
He'll probably end up trying to round up whatever trolls there are and kinda sorta look after the kids. I'm saying sorta because Karkat is a jerk and even if he was looking after the kids he wouldn't make that apparent. Either way, in Karkat's mind he is still the leader with his teammates and it is still their job to make sure the kids do not mess anything up, even if they are not in their session anymore. He knows that eventually he will have to go back and the scratch with still be inevitable so they could only do what they could to prepare for it. Oh, just a note... he has a grudge against Eridan at this point because he did just hurt/kill his friends, so yeah HE'S DEAD TO HIM. Eridan is not included in any of his plans. End of story.
Adding on to what I said before, Karkat himself would probably be looking for ways to go back! He's really stubborn so he wouldn't believe things like 'lol there is no exit' and be spending his time searching. Despite all the fuck-ups, they have important things to do and he will feel restless sitting around doing nothing here. But of course he can't be spending ALL his time doing that! While it's doubtful he will fully give up, I want Karkat to settle into Sirenspull and learn to enjoy the life of what it seems to be human. Sure, there are dangers out there at night after the sirens but Alternia was also dangerous so Karkat would be less worried about that. Plus he would be ready if anything comes their way. But here, there will be no hemospectrum caste; most people tend to be friendly and it's nothing like the system in Alternia. He may still be the 'leader' of his group, but this is his chance to get to enjoy his youth with a human-like life that probably would have fit him better, slowly but surely.

He knows that eventually he will have to go back and the scratch with still be inevitable so they could only do what they could to prepare for it. Oh, just a note... he has a grudge against Eridan at this point because he did just hurt/kill his friends, so yeah HE'S DEAD TO HIM. Eridan is not included in any of his plans. End of story.
Adding on to what I said before, Karkat himself would probably be looking for ways to go back! He's really stubborn so he wouldn't believe things like 'lol there is no exit' and be spending his time searching. Despite all the fuck-ups, they have important things to do and he will feel restless sitting around doing nothing here. But of course he can't be spending ALL his time doing that! While it's doubtful he will fully give up, I want Karkat to settle into Sirenspull and learn to enjoy the life of what it seems to be human. Sure, there are dangers out there at night after the sirens but Alternia was also dangerous so Karkat would be less worried about that. Plus he would be ready if anything comes their way. But here, there will be no hemospectrum caste; most people tend to be friendly and it's nothing like the system in Alternia. He may still be the 'leader' of his group, but this is his chance to get to enjoy his youth with a human-like life that probably would have fit him better, slowly but surely.
